2024 Kia Telluride Overview

The 2024 Kia Telluride is one of the newest SUVs on the road and is a worthy adversary to the well-established 2023 Ford Explorer, one of the oldest SUVs on the road. Many people would consider the 2024 Kia Telluride the fresher of the two models. It has an emphasis on technology that the Ford Explorer sometimes expresses as just an afterthought to other chosen priorities. Technology is the biggest difference between these two SUVs, but it's far from the only difference our Ken Ganley Kia Alliance customers should pay attention to. Here are three areas where the 2024 Kia Telluride vs 2023 Ford Explorer gets ahead.

Alliance OH - 2024 Kia Telluride's Overview

Exterior - Kia Dealer serving Alliance OH

Ford is an old-school automaker, and they usually stick with that design language on models like the Explorer. You'll see deeply chiseled door lines in the Explorer's side profile, something that Kia keeps lighter and more body-color. The Telluride also has a far more "compact" look, even if it's in the same class as the Explorer. Mid-size models in the modern era rarely look as big as the Ford Explorer looks. For Ford, it's a design that they make or break a model with. For most people, the sleeker look of the 2024 Telluride will win them over with 20-inch alloy wheels with a silver finish, smart power liftgate, and smoother design build. There are clearly defined and shapely accents on the Telluride. You can check this model out at Ken Ganley Kia Alliance.

Interior - 2024 Kia Telluride in Alliance OH

The 2024 Telluride and 2023 Ford Explorer both have far above-average interiors. You'll notice premium features like Nappa leather, sunroof options, and premium sound systems. However, there's an important difference to note here that will matter to a large majority of buyers: seating capacity. The Telluride is capable of seating eight people, and the Explorer is stuck at just seven seat capacity. If you've got to have room for eight people, the 2024 Kia Telluride vs 2023 Ford Explorer comparison ends here for you. The Telluride is the only way to go. Not only does the Telluride seat more people, but it also throws in an additional two trims and far more variety on the interior.

Technology - Kia Dealership in Alliance OH

The dual panoramic displays in the 2024 Telluride are an upgrade over the 10.1-inch LCD portrait touchscreen that comes in the 2023 Ford Explorer. If your touchscreen is your lifeline on the road and is in constant use, you'll want to upgrade to the model that offers an almost across-the-board touchscreen platform. It's also worth noting that even on the fully-loaded Platinum Explorer trim, the 10.1-inch LCD touchscreen is only optional. You're still paying more for it. A Telluride gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen standard from the LX base model on.

Winner: 2024 Kia Telluride

The 2024 Telluride is a treat for families who need a mid-size model with three bold rows of seating, 5,500 pound towing capacity, and tons of technology. The Telluride makes its reputation with modern technology, and it builds around that sentiment. For the 2023 Ford Explorer, it's a different path to greatness. Ford uses the iconic physicality of the Explorer and then adds technology on later. The difference between these two is very clear and visible at Ken Ganley Kia Alliance. You can see the Telluride for yourself and check out its 291-horsepower, all-wheel drive performance for yourself in an amazing test drive.
